According to the secant-tangent theorem, we have the following expression:

(x+3)^2=10.8(19.2+10.8)

Now, we solve for <em>x</em>.

\begin{gathered} x^2+6x+9=10.8(30) \\ x^2+6x+9=324 \\ x^2+6x+9-324=0 \\ x^2+6x-315=0 \end{gathered}

Then, we use the quadratic formula:

x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where a = 1, b = 6, and c = -315.

\begin{gathered} x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-315)}}{2\cdot1} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{36+1260}}{2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{1296}}{2} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm36}{2} \\ x_1=\frac{-6+36}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15 \\ x_2=\frac{-6-36}{2}=\frac{-42}{2}=-21 \end{gathered}<h2>Hence, the answer is 15 because lengths can't be negative.</h2>

A system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane. 2y=3x−14y=6x−2 Select the number of solutions for the system of equati
zloy xaker [14]

The pair of the linear system has a unique solution. Then the number of solutions is exactly one.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest degree of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

The equations are 2y = 3x - 14 and y = 6x - 2.

We know the condition.

\rm \dfrac{a_1}{a_2} \neq  \dfrac{b_1}{b_2}\\\\\dfrac{6}{3} \  \neq \dfrac{1}{2}

The system of equations follows the condition.

The graph is shown below.

Since the pair of the linear system has a unique solution.

Thus, the number of solutions is exactly one.

More about the linear system link is given below.

Which fraction represents the solution to -6/5/(-3/25) in simplest form?
Tresset [83]
To divide fractions, you flip the denominator and then multiply it by the numerator.

-6 / 5 x (-25 / 3)

Multiply straight across; the negative cancels out.

150 / 15

This can be reduced to 15, which is its simplest form.
